The submission is comprised of: A. The project management plan is designed to define how the project is planned, executed, and monitored. The project management plan should give details of the actions required for the integration and coordination of various planning activities to carry out the project. B. Log book: A log book that serves as evidence of continues project progress, and has diagrams, technical notes, and comments to show project progress as well as changes/actions that rise during the execution of the project.
C. Project Presentation: Present information and project evaluation to different audiences, fully reflecting the audiences needs in terms of format, style, and language. 1. Prepare a suitable presentation of appropriate format, structure, and supporting materials. 2. Use the third person in writing, vocabulary, tone, and style suited to the complexity of the topic and the context D. Project Report: Produce coherent and well-structured project records using Harvard referencing and citation. Organise material coherently, to suit the length, complexity, and purpose of your technical report, proofread, and where necessary re-draft documents. E. The performance review: Provide evidence of reflection and evaluation of the project management process and individual performance. |

Assignment Brief and Guidance
You have recently gained employment as a trainee engineer for a large private general construction & building firm. The firm specialises in residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects. As part of the companys drive to reduce operational costs and meet net zero targets for its clients, current demand for energy efficient processes and construction design solutions has never been more important, therefore they are seeking to improve the way they are able to support greater energy efficient construction solutions. While they have identified a range of different ways to address environment/sustainability, they are of the opinion that they may achieve the greatest impact in need for energy efficient construction solutions.
You have been assigned to a construction site to review a recently completed residential building selected and develop an energy efficient solution that will enable energy efficiency of the building. During this process, you should consider the different stages of a design process, types of construction information, design propositions that address project and present a construction information package for different stakeholders to ensure accuracy.
Your report should:
- Describe the stages and activities of a construction design and explain the types of information required throughout the different stages of a project process. In addition, you need to assess the relationship between design and project stages, and the information sharing requirements. As you progress, it is required to critically evaluate the relationship between design and project stages, highlighting the processes and procedures to ensure information coordination throughout.
- After reviewing the stages and the types of information of selected residential building, it is required to examine a brief to ascertain the requirements of a selected building and outline the relationships between drawings, schedules and specifications. In addition to this, analyse the importance of clash detection information coordination.
- Now you are at the stage where you are required to create construction drawings and details using industry-standard tools and techniques. In addition to this produce specifications, schedules and an outline construction health & safety phase plan for a given residential building. As you progressed, you are required to prepare specification prelims and schedule of works, in coordination with construction drawings and details.
- As your report may be shared with clients, you are required to present construction information to an audience of specialists and nonspecialists by explaining the coordination and information sharing between different roles and stakeholders. In addition to this analyse the ways in which different forms of contractual relationships between stakeholders influence flow of information. In the end, you are required to evaluate a package of construction information, in relation to their coordination and accuracy.
